I always get creeped out by the darkness of the bar. I end up sprinting up the stairs. It's weird though, because I'm otherwise not afraid of the dark.

You're not the only one:
1) I remember my old high school social studies teacher mentioning about how darkness was used as a tool of fear during some wars and such (okay I can’t remember details), but he explicitly mentioned about people just having that ominous urge to get out of the dark whenever possible, especially with the basement of their own houses at nighttime as an example of how darkness is used. This sensation generally happens when an individual is alone in the house creating a sense of loneliness.
2) I’m quite like this sometimes at about 12 AM or later in the night after playing video games and the like. My imagination runs wild and I just want to head to my bed ASAP.
When I was a kid, I used to dread going near those giant ornamental water fountains. I guess its was the loud sound generated by the constant splashing water and the giant arcs of water it spouted out. Of course today I like taking pictures of them and throwing in pennies here and there.
However, I still do get queasy whenever I’m in a multi-level shopping mall and I’m at near the top floor looking over the balcony down. I’m not so much afraid, but I constantly feel my adrenaline pumping up and my mind on focused attention.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
